Chapter 84: One Monk, Two Paths, Three Swords
The dining room on the second floor of the hotel is very large, it was supposed to be a place for wedding banquets, but it was temporarily converted into a cafeteria, nearly 1,000 square meters of space, very spacious, a large long table is placed in the middle, straight to the end, the table has already been filled with all kinds of seafood delicacies, staple snacks, fruit desserts!
All kinds of drinks are available in unlimited quantities, and there are many waiters holding the drinks back and forth, the scene is very magnificent!
There were already a lot of people in the entire hall, and Tang Lao and a few old men, it seemed that they should be several other Tang Sect elders, who were constantly greeting the guests!
Tang Lao saw us coming from afar, so he came over to greet us, let us eat at will, no need to be polite! and instructed Tang Feng to accompany us all the way, including the auction that was waiting for the next one!
I was really a little helpless about Donald's arrangement, why did I have to let Tang Feng accompany me all the time, I felt a little stilted, but I couldn't figure it out! Donald didn't give me a chance to refuse at all, and he had already gone to greet other guests!
In desperation, I had no choice but to accept this arrangement! Several of us found a secluded corner to sit down and keep a low profile, but in fact, among the guests present, few of us would know a few of us unknowns!
I just took this opportunity to get acquainted with these figures in the ancient martial arts world, Tang Feng helped at this time, she knew the information of each guest well, it seems that she has spent a lot of thought on weekdays!
In fact, the sects often mentioned in ordinary martial arts novels, such as the Qingcheng School, the Kongtong School, and the Kunlun School, are just fictions of the author! Even if they really existed, they have all disappeared or declined in the long river of history!
The fault of inheritance, the loss of the heart, and the destruction of the war, what can really be passed down are those Guwu families, who can survive the wheel of history because they uphold the concept of avoiding chaos and peace!
Tang Feng gave me a detailed introduction to the situation of the Guwu family! There are only four Guwu families left to this day, namely one Buddha, two paths, three swords and four Tang Sects!
A Buddha, when I first heard it, I thought it would be Shaolin, the martial arts leader mentioned in martial arts novels! But the Buddha referred to here is not the Shaolin Temple we are familiar with!
They were passed down from the time they really crossed from Dharmases, and it is said that they received the true transmission of the Buddha, calling themselves Mahayana!
The reason why this Guwu family can rank first is not because their cultivation exercises are powerful, but because they are truly detached from the world, unlike other families that will also set up spokespersons and group companies in the world in order to seek resource benefits! All their sources of livelihood are only supported by believers, and if no one provides for them, they rely on themselves to hunt for food in the mountains and be self-sufficient!
Because of the transcendence of Mahayana, it is regarded as the first family by everyone!
The people in the Mahayana sect who came today were not dressed as ordinary monks, but they were dressed in loose linen trousers, with long hair and a casual shawl, dark and shiny skin, and a kind face, and some even walked barefoot.
On the contrary, like the two Zhishui Zhihuo beside me, they are dressed as monks, but they look very eye-catching, and they have also attracted the attention of many Mahayana sects.
What's even more annoying is that as soon as the two brothers entered the door, their eyes were staring at the food without moving, although they didn't eat meat, but in front of them they were already piling up the whole table of fruits, so we couldn't keep a low profile if we wanted to!
Long Zaitian quipped, "You're not going to bring the whole table of fruit over there, are you!
Zhishui's mouth was full, and he said vaguely, "Where! There are not enough fruits, I have already asked the waiter to prepare them again!"
Zhihuo knew that it was a bit excessive, and said while eating, "Senior brother, I said it all, don't take so much, keep one or two!"
Zhishui swallowed the flesh in his mouth violently, glared and said, "Then you don't want to eat it! I haven't moved so much seafood, what's wrong with such a little fruit! Could it be that the master here is as stingy as the old monk?"
"Master, where are you stingy! It's your mouth that is too greedy!"
"Isn't your mouth hungry?"
I shook my head, I could only act as if I hadn't seen anything, and continued to listen to Tang Feng's introduction!
After preaching, one Buddha said two ways!
This Taoist is a local Taoist, and according to legend, it has been passed down since Lao Tzu rode a green ox out of Guguan!
On the contrary, Taoism focuses on self-cultivation, talks about the way of heaven and fate, believes that man will conquer the sky, and focuses on pills and charms!
And although this third sword is ranked third, it has the strongest attack power among the four major families!
According to legend, this third largest ancient martial arts family is passed down from Ou Yezi, the great swordsmith of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Ou Yezi may not be clear, but when it comes to the two famous swords of the cadre Mo Xie he cast, everyone knows it!
Therefore, this family calls themselves swordsmiths, although the craft of sword casting has long been lost, they are still proud of their ancestors! And their sword fighting skills have reached the pinnacle of human beings on earth after thousands of years of inheritance, if they meet some ordinary outsiders, they may not lose under the battle!
The sword is the king of a hundred soldiers, and the swordsman has always been the embodiment of chivalry.
In ancient times, there was Jing Ke who assassinated the King of Qin, and according to the swordsmiths themselves, Jing Ke was a senior in their family!
Compared with the other three ancient martial arts families, the history of the Tang Sect is the shortest, only a few hundred years, and it was born out of thin air with its divine forging skills, and it was squeezed into the four ancient martial arts families!
Many people have speculated that the ancestors of the Tang Sect are very likely to be the descendants of outsiders, and it is even possible that some lost person opened the inheritance seal! Otherwise, with the wisdom of the earthlings, how could it be possible that in the era when aircraft and cannons had not yet existed, the Tang Sect would be able to create a powerful secret weapon!
Like the rainstorm pear flower needles mentioned in the martial arts novels of the earth, twenty-seven pear flower needles can be fired in a row, and the power is huge.
This kind of secret weapon Tangmen is not nothing, but it is more powerful and terrifying than the one mentioned in the novel!
The name is called the Meteor Hundred Bee Needle, a total of one hundred and eight needles, and it shoots out violently, even the wall can make the shape of a hornet's nest, not to mention the body of the flesh! However, even such a sharp weapon has long been eliminated in the Tang Sect, and now the secret weapon of the Tang Sect is more inclined to be secretive and changeable!
In addition to these four major families, there are also some loose cultivators and the like who have been given the opportunity to practice and become cultivators because of some kind of chance, but most of them are also attached to the four major families and become foreigners! These people are even more diverse, and there are all kinds of people!
I also asked the two little monks of Zhishui how they got the invitation of the Tang Sect!
Unexpectedly, the answer I got was that I stole Master's invitation!
Although Zhishui and their master got the invitation, they didn't want to show their heads! But these two children couldn't resist the temptation to go out, so they secretly went down the mountain without their master, which is really a very old-fashioned story!
However, when asked about their master's name, they didn't know anything!
I only know that when I came to the earth, I met the old master, and said that he saw the two of them with strange bones, so he decided to take them as apprentices!
Of course, this is just the wishful thinking of this old monk! Zhishui, as an intelligent life, where would they worship a human as a teacher, of course they will not agree!
But I never expected that this old monk seemed to be gentle and kind, harmless to humans and animals, and he didn't change it even if he smiled, but Zhishui and the two couldn't walk ten meters away, and there seemed to be an invisible barrier around them!
No matter how the two of them tried their best, there was no way, and as soon as all the attacks were ten meters away, they sank into the sea like a stone and disappeared!
At this time, the two of them realized that they had met a master, and the situation was stronger than people, Zhishui and Zhihuo had no choice but to agree to the old monk's apprenticeship!
Anyway, coming out to explore the universe is to experience and constantly challenge evolution, which is the instinctive pursuit of intelligent life!
After listening to Zhishui's words, I felt that this episode was even more old-fashioned, and I was a little skeptical that Zhishui was telling the truth, whether he made it up casually to deceive me!
If it was as he said, then wouldn't this old monk be a pretty powerful human cultivator!
After Tang Feng's serious introduction, I had a preliminary understanding of the entire four ancient martial arts families on the earth! Tang Feng even introduced me to several ancient martial artists present!
The two of us exchanged heads at the table, Tang Feng was so close to me that I could almost see the fine fluff on her face, and sniffed the fragrance wafting from the long black hair, which made me a little intoxicated!
Tang Feng also seemed to feel the intimate distance between us, but he was not averse to dodging, but that little face gradually became red!
An ambiguous feeling lingered between the two of us!
"Haha, Brother Rushui, you are hiding here, but let me find it!" A sharp voice interrupted my conversation with Tang Feng.
Tang Feng immediately leaned back slightly, widening the distance between him and me. I looked up, and it was our minister, Hou Yue, who spoke.
A pair of thieves' little eyes looked straight at the two little monks, Zhishui and Zhihuo.
Long Zaitian on the side actually whispered to Zhishui, "Well, this is Lord Hou Yuehou, the head of our Star Covenant's Earth Branch!
When I heard this, my intestines almost made me laugh, what a big pit!
This dragon is really ruthless in the sky!
Sure enough, when Zhishui and the two brothers heard this, their eyes staring at Hou Yue were about to burst into flames! If it weren't for Wu Lao calming him down, it is estimated that they would have fought on the spot!
I shouted at them just in time, "What are you doing? You don't want to see what this place is? Are you crazy? Do you really want to be caught doing research?"
"What kind of research?" While we were pulling, Hou Yue was already giggling and came to our table, and when he heard the second half of my sentence, he asked a little inexplicably.
"It's nothing! We're talking about the history of these Guwu families!Minister Hou, you have a lot of opportunities, and for such a big scene today, you still have time to come to me, an unknown person!" I passed by casually, but I didn't want him to know the content of our conversation.
"Well, yes! There are a lot of people here today, and there is a mixture of fish and dragons! I have communicated with the master of the Tang Sect, and I have also supported a few capable subordinates, closely monitoring the venue, in case some outsiders are fishing in trouble!" Hou Yue felt a little strange as he spoke, how could those two little monks look at him like they saw the enemy who killed their father, where did they provoke them!
